Terry and Martin are not in a hot-spot suburb. But they will self-isolate anyway
Terry Wesselink tries to keep her distance in the supermarket, but says some people don't care.
Her sister-in-law in South Africa was bedridden for six weeks with the virus in March, is still "really sick" and can’t climb a set of stairs. The Heidelberg health promotion organisation where Ms Wesselink works has started screening all visitors and staff — taking their temperature and asking questions about possible symptoms."It looked like we were getting on top of it, and then suddenly it just broke out. I guess through human error. It just shows you can’t really slip very much," Mr Paulo said.
"It’s a little bit unnerving to think after all the hard work we’ve put in that we’re having quite a drastic spike at this point," she said.

Leaders must provide ‘real leadership’ instead of COVID-19 hysteria: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones has called on the nation’s leaders to provide some real leadership “instead of fear and hysteria” as an extraordinary alarmist campaign over coronavirus continues. \n\nMr Jones said over the past months the “constant alarmist repetition” has been spruiked over the virus. \n\nHe said while the 106 deaths have been saddening, the ongoing repercussions of the disease have meant “the economy has been crushed”. \n\n“We're frightening the hell out of people over coronavirus which as the Prime Minister said on March 15, for eight out of ten it would be nothing more than a flu,” Mr Jones said. \n\n“We have political leaders who've become followers”. \n\n“chief medical officers whose names have never appeared on a ballot paper are running the country”. \n\n“I think it's time our leaders provided some real leadership instead of fear and hysteria”. \n\nImage: Getty
